A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 73: Persecution

On Christmas night, the hustle and bustle fell silent, and the night shrouded Hogwarts Castle like a curtain.

In the ancient rune office, Felix opened the diary habitually, and had a conversation with the young Dark Lord inside.

For the past two days, he has been trying to lead him to talk about Salazar Slytherin, but the topic has been pulled away.

Tonight Felix decided to adopt a different tactic, he needed to carefully set traps for the young Dark Lord to step in by himself.

For this reason, he re-read many psychology books.

"A rather sensational event happened today," Felix wrote.

"What is it?" Diary asked with great interest. He has been quite distressed recently. After every communication, this shrewd professor would lock him up, which made him completely lose his understanding of outside information.

"The attack in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was reported, and people talked about it. Some people proposed to dissolve the Slytherin house and deprive Salazar Slytherin of all honors."

Felix felt like a giant spider, weaving its web with great care.

Immediately, a string of scrawls appeared in the diary, "Ridiculous remarks, absolutely ridiculous! Who is it? Is it Dumbledore! He has always been prejudiced against wizards from Slytherin."

Felix hooked the corners of his mouth, and he wrote full of mischief: "It's not him, it's a woman named Rita Skeeter. She has always been known for compiling rumors about celebrities."

The name "Rita Skeeter" flickered on the diary, which looked messy and hideous - he seemed to want to remember this name firmly.

In the diary, the young Tom Riddle was indeed furious. He couldn't help wondering if the current atmosphere in the wizarding world had become so filthy?

After a long time, the diary asked: "And then? The Ministry of Magic will definitely not agree to such a ridiculous proposal!"

"Of course not, but this incident has sparked widespread discussion at Hogwarts. Many little wizards have commented on Salazar Slytherin—well, it can be said to be extremely negative."

The diary couldn't help but write, "Salazar Slytherin is the greatest of the Big Four! However, posterity only evaluates him superficially based on his appearance, trying to discredit him!"

Felix thought of the gigantic face in the Chamber of Secrets: an old, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that trailed almost to the hem of his robes.

You know, it was carved by Slytherin himself, and the possibility of self-beautification cannot be ruled out.

It was hard for him to imagine what the real Slytherin looked like, especially when he was always surrounded by all kinds of snakes with long letters.

Felix said relatively "objectively", "This is very telling. You know, people always reject things they don't understand in their hearts, just like Slytherin's Parseltongue."

"I couldn't agree more, Felix Heap, your views are quite insightful." The diary praised.

Felix explained modestly, "I have read some of Ravenclaw's manuscripts, and I can imagine that magnificent era just through a few words of description." He wrote with emotion: "The four The most gifted wizards and wizards came together to usher in a new era in wizarding."

The diary echoed him, "That was indeed a history worth remembering." His words became even again.

But immediately, Felix commented intentionally or unintentionally, "I just don't understand why Salazar Slytherin suddenly broke up with the other three. Ideas are not popular.”

"And he also secretly built the Chamber of Secrets, leaving horrible monsters in the Chamber of Secrets. I think—" Felix wrote word for word, "He is destroying his own efforts, which is a typical dark wizard Make pie."

In the diary, Tom Riddle couldn't help but refute him, "Maybe his secret room is not used to eliminate Muggle wizards."

"What else, Tom? I want to remind you that many of Slytherin's studies were **** and cruel, which affected his character."

Tom Riddle continued to refute: "But he also unveiled the fog of truth for the latecomers. Look at his research objects, goblins, giants, dwarves, centaurs... His research results are enough to make wizards This group is pushed to supremacy! It's only a small price to pay."

"Tom, are you a crazy admirer of him?" Felix wrote.

"No, of course not... just partially agreeing with his ideas, wizards and humanoids are different concepts, right?" Diary tried to make his tone more objective, "Besides, any His judgments are all hypocritical and stupid, and the moral standards of wizards in that era are completely different from those of today."

"What you said makes sense." Felix wrote, "But as far as I know, these precious magical materials have never been handed down, and it is still unknown whether they are 'great'."

"That was indeed the 'greatest' achievement." In the diary, the young Dark Lord was clearly in charge, and he tried to convince Felix.

"How do you know?" Felix showed a winning smile.

"I'm just guessing..."

"Don't lie to me, Tom! You know more about Salazar Slytherin than I thought, and your attitude towards him is too protective." Felix began to close the net. "This makes me wonder, is it you who opened the Chamber of Secrets? You are the real heir of Slytherin!"

He wrote ~IndoMTL.com~ word by word, as if he was about to tear the paper, "I need an explanation, otherwise, I can only hand you over to Dumbledore."

In the diary, Tom Riddle was extremely nervous, and he hated this feeling of "being seen through".

After a long silence, a line of text emerged on the diary, "You think so? Do you think I lied to you? I thought——we have established a solid friendship."

Felix wrote calmly: "That's why I gave you a chance to explain."

From the perspective of the Dark Lord, as long as he doesn't reveal the fact of the Horcruxes, everything is fine.

The diary replied quickly and scribbled: "Of course not me, I am Muggle-born, remember? I have nothing to do with Slytherin."

Felix was silent, he did not reply any text, exerting pressure a little bit.

Tom Riddle in the diary couldn't stand it anymore, and he wrote again: "But... I have to admit, I did encounter adventures when I was in school. Yes, I got some advanced magical knowledge."

"Salazar Slytherin?" Felix asked, breathlessly.

"—I guess so." The diary replied briefly.

"Tell me, Tom, where did you put it?"

The diary was silent, and the young Dark Lord was quite troubled. He wanted to refuse, but this professor was too sensitive, he was pushed into a corner, if he denied it, he would definitely be regarded as the murderer who opened the secret room—although he was indeed.

He hated his own powerlessness more and more, and tried his best to get rid of this predicament, which made the proud him almost go crazy.

But soon, he replied in a polite and calm tone: "That was fifty years ago, and I found a rather magical room on the eighth floor of the castle..."
